The Web is overflowing with various initiatory rites and teachings designed to prepare humanity for great changes and transitions. Some sites like Pleiadian Message 2012 – A Wake Up Call For the Family of Light informs us that humanity is an experiment and we have all been prepared to receive the wisdom from extraterrestrial beings. This Youtube video explains that we will be seeing with the eyes of Horus and we are ushering in a new age. Google images generates a plethora of images intended to unify humanity.

Will the discovery of the oldest Mayan tomb reveal more clues to the prophecies of the Mayan Calendar? A recent Archeological find will almost certainly add to our understanding of the demise of the Olmec civilization and the rise of the Mayan civilization but there may be other clues sepulchered within.
Retalhuleu Region, Guatemala
Archeologists recently announced the discovery of the oldest Mayan tomb. Located in Western Guatemala, the tomb offers clues about the decline of the Olmec culture and the early ascendancy of the Mayan civilization. Using a miniature, sophisticated remote control camera, archeologists are exploring the interior of the tomb. As the date prophesied by the Mayan calendar’s end approaches in December, curiosity around this recent discovery may surge. The Asheville Jung Center along with innerQuest presents “The End of the World” conference that will explore the interior landscape of the Maya Prohecy.
The prospect that the world will end in December is capturing increasing attention. The cover story for the current issue of Archeology examines the Maya Sense of Time. Dr. Richard Tarnas, professor of philosophy and cultural history at the California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco and author of “The Passion of the Western Mind” and” Cosmos and Psyche”, integrated depth astrology and depth psychology in a recent conference. ” In our times, it happens that the major alignment or dynamic aspect that is shaping the underlying Gestalt of the collective psyche is the Uranus – Pluto alignment, a square between Uranus and Pluto.” This dynamic alignment is associated with great upheaval, change, sudden awakening, and breakthroughs. His presentation at the C. G. Jung Institute of San Francisco can be viewed on the WEB at http://ashevillejungcenter.org/webinars/w7/.
People are looking for clues that can help decipher the meaning and implications of the Mayan prophecies. The impression that the world may come to some cataclysmic end is deeply etched into the human psyche and appears as a recurring motif. The Asheville Jung Center is at the leading edge of exploring the significance of the Mayan Prophecy. “There is an aspect of the primitive part of our brain that fears the abyss; this finds expression in sacred literature and in various myths and rituals of ancient cultures, and the failure to acknowledge this notion of annihilation may result in acting out these themes in aberrant ways.” says Dr. Steven Buser, co-founder of the Asheville Jung Center. Dr. Len Cruz, also of the Asheville Jung Center, offered several examples of aberrant patterns evident in current events ”…the denial of the evidence concerning environmental degradation, the paralysis in dealing with the impending fiscal crisis in the US and elsewhere, and the psychic numbing as described by the psychiatrist, Robert J. Lifton in association with the threat of nuclear destruction that was initially identified in survivors of Hiroshima.”
The Asheville Jung Center will host a worldwide conference “The End of the World” on November 29, 2012 (viewable on the WEB) that brings together Jungian psychoanalysts from Zurich, the Netherlands, and Los Angeles including Nancy Furlotti, MA who has extensively studied the Mayan Calendar will be among the presenters.

Why all the fuss about the end of the world on December 21, 2012? And what do the Maya and Jung have to say about it?

By: Nancy Swift Furlotti

Do we really believe the end of the world is upon us at the end of this year? It is true that our world feels full of chaos, wars, terror attacks, economic collapses, and environmental disasters. But is this really new? If we look back in history we discover that the world has been a dangerous and unpredictable place from the beginning. So, would you really prefer to live in another time with dinosaurs crashing around you, bubonic plague wiping out your community, or the inquisition stripping you of your religious choice and life? I wouldn’t.
Each era offers challenges to our human race, and now is no exception. But why do we jump to the conclusion that the end of the world is coming? Perhaps it is our linear thinking that focuses on only one of two possibilities. Many believe the universe began with one Big Bang and will end in a Black Hole. Others are convinced the world began with Genesis and will end with Revelation. There are actually other ways of imagining our existence.
The Maya, for example, thought about it extensively and developed a very sophisticated conception and application of time and reality that far exceeded the rest of the world, and perhaps still does. Their surprisingly accurate calculations of dates go back millions of years and forward well into the future. So what about December 21, 2012, the so-called end of the Maya fourth world? What does that mean to them, not just what it means to us? It is their calendar and their date; we can learn something from them if we listen.
A Western thinker who wrestled with the concept of time and reality was C. G. Jung, who wrote about cyclical periods of world chaos within the aeons of time. Interestingly, both the Maya and Jung proposed the idea of circular or non-linear time. Another Western thinker, Mircea Eliade, called itsacred time. Perhaps this is what we are missing in our world today, and is a clue to why we think the world will end.
On November 29th we will hold a global seminarfrom Washington DC and Zurich looking at the question of will the world end on December 21st and what is the meaning behind this. We will explore the significance of time and reality, the procession of the worlds for the Maya, and how it was a fundamental part of their religion. We will discuss its significance in relation to the most important Maya document to survive the Spanish Conquest, the Popol Vuh. This sacred book of the Quiche Maya, called the Dawn of Life, contains their myth of creation and destruction that lays out the template for how humans participate with the Gods in the ever repeating cycle of life, death, and rebirth. We shall observe how this myth may apply to our world today and what we can learn from it. With all the chaos in our current world, it seems we have a lot to learn!
